Spatiotemporal Coupling of DNA Supercoiling and Genomic Sequence Organization—A Timing Chain for the Bacterial Growth Cycle?
In this article we describe the bacterial growth cycle as a closed, self-reproducing, or autopoietic circuit, reestablishing the physiological state of stationary cells initially inoculated in the growth medium. In batch culture, this process of self-reproduction is associated with the gradual decli...
